Abstract:Two cultivars of poinsettias and 3 cultivars of chrysanthemums were propagated under low concentration mist-fertilizer solutions to offset the problem of nutrient losses by leaching that occur under mist. Greater terminal growth, fresh weight, dry weight and degree of rooting resulted. Effects of mist-fertilizer propagation were permanent, so plants flowerd earlier, and had greater fresh and dry weights with increased numbers and larger size flowers. Significantly higher levels of N, P and K occurred in leaf t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
